Another update -

We've edged ahead in the UK blog category.. just.. and we're still in front the Best Political blog category.. however, we have slipped back into 3rd place in the Best Blog focused on a single country or region.

As Mick said earlier.. After you've had a look at the other 'damned fine blogs' named there - don't forget to Vote!

Mick,

I took particular pleasure in voting for you in the United Kingdom category. More power to your (British) elbow!

Nice one John. Although in mitigation, I'd simply observe that the general and political interests (collectively at least) of both the writers and the readers of this blog are roughly contiguous with the borders of the Common Travel Area. For which I make no apologies! ;-)

Is this voting thing part of a unionist indoctrination process for United Ireland Republicans ?

It was like taking the oath .... grrrr

Ach Shay, you didn't have to do it! I'd be happy if we just picked up one of them.

Erm.. Mick.. would be impolite to point out that it should be pyjamas?

Erm.. Pete.. would it be impolite to point out that is should be pajamas ;))

Maca and Pete,

JimJams, surly, dont lets get all posh. Mick, well done, what you and those who help you out at Slugger do, is a real achievement. I find it really interesting, that a blog that in the main covers the six counties of the north east of Ireland is heading the poll for best UK blog. Who says people are not interested in what goes on there.

All the Best.

Four or five hundred people voted in these categories.

I'm curious how many unique ISP's, ie. individuals, hit Slugger each day? Is it on the order of those who voted on a Fistful Of Euros?
